Post pics of your practice space!

[Metal and Beer]

Yep, that's a 150, Kiffin from Rwake owns it now. Except for the full-stacks on the ends and the Peavey Ultra, that stuff was all mine. I caught GES* so it's all gone but the 8x10. Hey do we know each other? I saw you mention Arkansas, it'd be weird if we didn't know one another at this point haha

We have met, briefly. My band played a show with Seahag and Deadbird a couple of years ago. Brian Mercer did a poster for it. And I believe Tom Sweet Band came through a couple of months later and played with us. You partied with Nasty Nate (in my band) over at Chuck's the first night. I was too drunk to speak so I bowed out early that evening.

[Metal and Beer]

Ah, cool, you must be in Queen Beast? I have that Mercer print hanging up about four feet away from me right now. Were you the other guitarist in QB ?

[blackkrosses]

Si, senor. Me llamo Beau. I was dressed as the gay cowboy.

[Metal and Beer]

Cheers Beau, I reckon you dressed like that to git under Nate's skin?   

[blackkrosses]

Yup. That and because I look good as a gay cowboy.

[Metal and Beer]

Touché sir !

"...I look good as a gay cowboy."

applauded.


*edit' do we need a seperate thread for posting pictures dressed as a gay cowboy or can we do it here?

[apekillman]

Hey metal Dave,  did / does the drummer play with his kit set up like that?  The snare is pretty far to his left.

[Metal and Beer]

Nah, I think I moved it to cram that little Marshall Mosfet half stack in there..

Belushis Lair

[Hemisaurus]

Poor sad empty racks, you must buy more gear to fill them and make them happy

[Lumpy]

Belushi's Lair is a sweet setup.

[Discö Rice]

Why are the drums kept hidden from me?! I GROW WEARY OF THIS GUITAR-CENTRIC NINCOMPOOPERY!!!

[chille01]

Hemi... if they were my racks, they would be full.  But they aren't.  They belong to the guy that runs the place.

Lumpy... it is a sweet setup, but it ain't all ours.  The above mentioned owner of the racks runs the place.  Basically, the overhead pushes about $1500 a month on it (we know, because we looked at signing the lease ourselves at one point).  We pay $200 a month for one night a week, and a couple other bands do the same.  Then this guy is responsible for the rest.  I think he's got a misguided dream of turning the place into a profitable recording studio, and I wish him luck, but I don't see it happening.  You can see what he's got for gear, and the room itself isn't sound proof enough for a proper recording room.  You can hear people stomp down the hallway outside it.  Not such a big deal when you're tracking loud drums and amps, but if you wanted to do acoustic stuff or vocal takes.  I've seen him run maybe six sessions since he took over the lease about a year ago.  Still, it's a good deal for us, because we get a proper, nice jam room without having to put our own asses on the line.  I've jammed in way too many nasty, piss smelling rooms with bare studs and a naked lightbulb.   Oh... and I can walk there from where I live.

Disco... the drums are nothing special.  They could be with a little TLC I think, but as they stand right now it's just a beater kit.  Old Slingerland's from the 70's.  Plenty of pics of them on our facebook page (link below).  Also, all of the songs on that page were recorded in that very room, and mixed in my dining room (with my own, more populated racks Hemi.)

Snapped this pic this evening. Not really a practice spot, since I am bandless at the moment. I practice here though, and damn do I need it. I guess more than a practice spot, this is where the testing majick happens.

The things we do for our loved ones...

This is the new space I share with Lumpy. Notice the dead pedal sitting atop the dead subwoofer cab on the right.

Lump dog built some bad ass shelves on the other side of the room. Handy motherfucker, that guy.

[Lumpy]

Thanks for breaking your kit down all the time* 








*(because it takes up an entire room) 

[Discö Rice]

Lumpy, for you I'd do it if it only took up 7/8 of the room.
